Description

Craft exceptional instruments with the unparalleled beauty and acoustic excellence of our AAA Full-Figured Bearclaw Sitka Spruce Archtop Wedge Set. This full-figured bearclaw sitka spruce represents the finest tonewood available for professional luthiers, combining stunning visual character with superior resonant properties that ensure your next archtop guitar or carved-top instrument achieves breathtaking sound and timeless appeal. Sourced from salvage-recovered old-growth timber, these precision-cut wedge booksets elevate your craftsmanship with acoustic materials of supreme quality and aesthetic distinction.

These archtop wedge sets are produced from the finest tonewood fiber in the world, procured from salvage-sourced old-growth Sitka Spruce. The wedge cut booksets create superior instruments because they are cut closer to the dimension of the finished product, optimizing both material efficiency and tonal characteristics. Each set measures 23″ long × 9″ wide × 1⅛” thick at the joining edge, tapering to approximately ⅜” at the outside edge. Please indicate in the comment section of your order what size instrument you are building.

Enhanced Resonance: The Heart of Your Instrument

Experience the profound acoustic impact of full-figured bearclaw sitka spruce soundboards. The rare bearclaw figuring is not merely visually striking; it indicates unique cellular compression within the wood, contributing to an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. This natural phenomenon, combined with the centuries of aging in old-growth timber, delivers superior projection, dynamic range, and crystal-clear tonal characteristics. Unlock unmatched sustain and harmonic richness that only ancient, naturally seasoned Sitka Spruce can provide for your archtop guitar construction. These enhanced resonant properties are unmatched by plantation-grown alternatives, making this tonewood choice the optimal selection for discriminating builders.
